Dear Srs,
I need to remove some broken files/inodes in ext3 filesystem running Linux
2.6.18, I can't delete using userspace utilitys:
# ls -l /tmp/apspkgarc/
total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? AdvancedPoll-2.03-30.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? Coppermine-1.3.3-45.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? joomla-1.0.12-36.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? Mambo-4.6.2-8.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? osCommerce-2.2ms2-52.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? phpBB-2.0.22-19.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? phpBook-1.50-26.app.zip
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? WordPress-2.0-21.app.zip
# rm -rf /tmp/apspkgarc
rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/apspkgarc': Directory not empty
Other times I have solved this problem using debugfs, but I don't know if
it's a secure method to make this:
# umount /dev/i2o/hda4
# debugfs -w /dev/i2o/hda4
debugfs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
debugfs: freei /var/run/named.pid
"freei" is a secure method to delete those files?
Also, I'm looking for a method or application to search this type of broken
files, now I'am using this shell one-liners:
export LANG=en_US
find / -type s -prune 2> /tmp/find_broken_files.txt > /dev/null
awk '/No such file or directory/ { print $2; }'
/tmp/find_broken_files.txt
All advices are welcome, thanks!!

Did you try to e2fsck your /tmp partition?> # umount /dev/i2o/hda4 > # debugfs -w /dev/i2o/hda4 > debugfs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) debugfs: freei /var/run/named.pid > "freei" is a secure method to delete those files?If your fs is clean, debugfs can do wonders. If it's not, debugfs seems rather dangerous...> find / -type s -prune 2> /tmp/find_broken_files.txt > /dev/nullYou're searching for sockets and find will complain to stderr if it cannot find a referenced file. Again, use e2fsck. No filesystem should have "broken files"... C. -- make bzImage, not war
